*** It’s your best friend’s birthday. she loves design ad textile. You’d like to get her a book on that topic but her bookshelves are already full of fabulous books. You don’t know which one to buy : what if she already owns the one you buy? No problem: simply get her the soon to be released “Textiles now!” By Drussila Cole. Personally, i’m ordering this one for X-mas…

But if you really can’t wait, i would advise Amy Butler’s In stitches : 25 simple projects (aprons, bags, pillows, kimonos, etc.) with plenty of pictures and explanations. If you own this book, please tell us what you think of it.
